For months there have been rumors that Mariah Carey and her billionaire boyfriend James Packer were talking marriage. The Australian billionaire proposed on Thursday evening in New York City
Mariah Carey and billionaire James Packer are engaged after a whirlwind romance. Just after, the Mariah was spotted flashing her sizable engagement rock, thought to be worth over $7 Million dollars, 46, and Packer, 47, went public with their romance in June 2015.
The musician flashed her new, diamond engagement rock, which has an estimated value of $7.5 million USD (£5million), on Thursday after the 47-year-old casino billionaire got down on one knee that evening, following less than a year of dating. Mariah couldn't hide her delight as she arrived at their engagement party at Eleven Madison Park that night with a huge smile on her face and an even bigger rock on her left hand. David Allen, Creative Director 77Diamonds, had this to say:
'This emerald cut diamond engagement ring looks to be around 30 carats and given Mariah’s penchant for perfection it will no doubt be of the top colour and clarity quality.
It is believed that the pair, whose combined estimated fortune is around $3.4billion USD (AU$4.89billion) have no wedding date has been set just yet. The marriage will be Mariah's third shot at happiness, having previously spent seven years with Nick Cannon, with whom she has two children, and five years with music executive Tommy Mottola. James, meanwhile, is also anticipating a third marriage, thanks to his 2013 separation from Erica Packer after six years and three-year union with Jodhi Meares. Big congratulations to the rich ass couple!
Versace, Versace! Jennifer Lopez is ageless—a singing supernova who is unapologetically grown-up, holding her own in a world of pop-star girls who play up their ingenue status—and as of tonight, she will join the iconic ranks of Elvis, Cher, and Prince before her as she embarks on a three-year residency in Las Vegas. Never afraid of a little sparkle, Lopez brought a shimmying splendor to her performance attire long before she got top billing on the Vegas Strip for her new show, As for last night opening concert, expect nothing less than over-the-top dazzle from the star, who will be wearing three glamorous looks all courtesy of Swarovski and Versace.
Designed by Donatella Versace with help from costumers and stylists Rob Zangardi and Mariel Haenn, the looks include a high-slit, plumage-packed gown and a bedazzled take on athleisure—both dotted with the classic Versace medusa emblems.
If there’s anything Jennifer is known for, it’s glamour. We decided to go over the top with a belted Swarovski crystal jacket, adorned in luxe white feathers from head to toe,” said Zangardi. “This is the ultimate Old Hollywood ‘just lounging look.’
And by ‘just lounging,’ we mean exuding all kinds of exaggerated glamour.” Swarovski has embellished the ensembles with nearly 260,000 crystals, in colors ranging from Amethyst to Light Siam and Jet. And those aren’t the only glinting numbers to crunch: It took more than two months and over 1,400 hours to create, along with five Swarovski crystal–mesh panels and 100 feet of Swarovski chains. But despite all of the glitz, Lopez still stays true to her roots: One outfit is comprised of a crystal-covered hot pink New York Yankees cap, complete with a pair of matching slouchy trousers, bodysuit, and duster jacket—all of which are emblazoned with Bronx.

Love & Hip Hop Atlanta cast members Stevie J and Joseline Hernandez have taken over Hollywood, literally, with their new spin-off, Stevie J & Joseline Go Hollywood. The series premiers January 25th and has a plethora of celebrities popping up including: Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, K.Michelle, Russell Simmons and choreographer, Laurieann Gibson. Stevie’s LHHA cast mate and baby mama Mimi Faust makes an appearance, along with Stevie’s children.
The season follows Stevie J, 44, as he tries his hand at producing films, while his wife, 29, tries to further her career as a dancer and stage performer.
Despite their respective efforts, they find themselves bickering over money, and Hernandez doesn't appreciate Stevie J offering to represent her in exchange for 30 percent of her earnings.
To see Stevie J's kids' thoughts on the couple's bumpy relationship, watch the video below:
Now of course if you fast forward to today, the couple is supposedly broken up gossip tabloid TMZ reports Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta star Joseline Hernandez poured bleach on a pile of Stevie J‘s designer duds worth $40,000. At least she didn’t set fire to his leased Porsche.
Among the items Joseline allegedly destroyed were a $10,000 Bad Boy jacket — a gift from Sean Combs; $15,000 worth of fine china, and at least 20 pairs of expensive shoes.
Stevie tells TMZ that Hernandez also ruined gifts he received from his baby mamas for Christmas.
Joseline was reportedly jealous over the length of time Stevie is spending with middle aged singer Faith Evans in the studio. Is she serious?
Funny works! In the end, it was a couple of buddies who knocked The Force out. "Ride Along 2," the Universal sequel starring Kevin Hart and Ice Cube, opened at No. 1 for the weekend with an estimated $39 million box office, nearing its $40 million budget total on its first weekend out.
It's still less than the $41 million the first Ride Along made on its first weekend and well lower than the $48 million it banked over its holiday opening on MLK Jr. weekend in 2014.
And after four weekends of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" at No. 1, the Disney film dropped to No. 3 in its fifth week of release, earning $25 million, according to RenTrak's three-day box office estimates.
"Star Wars" fans may mourn the day the Force bowed to mere mortals.
